Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[RevFreako]

For those of you who had strong opinions yesterday on the new paintjob of the fossil mural on the Discovery Center, it turns out they weren't finished:

whaaaat? people formed theme park opinions without a clue what was actually happening? damn your tongue sir/maam/robot dino

For that one guy who always has strong opinions on new paintjobs, it turns out they weren't finished:

Fixed it.

Jurassic World: Dominion is going to be about bringing both eras of the franchise together. I think once we see how that works we’ll be okay with the dual personality the IOA land is going to have.

Was not expecting the level of planting in front of the Discovery Center that has happened

The bougainvillea's really add a pop of color

I know people had some initial hesitation about a coaster being added in front of the Discovery Center, but it really has plussed the area in a major way

I hope this will be as good as Pantheon, which admittedly looks pretty excellent.

I think that it will be better than Pantheon, although a little different ride experience. Of course, I like the setting better as the first half goes through the rock formations and then the second half has the top hat, stall, helixes, and heartline roll in short order.

I expect Pantheon to be more thrilling on the whole, but Velocicoaster will be faster paced with less time between elements and, you know, not just a coaster in a grass field.

I know there have been rumors about a new photo op by Thunder Falls and WDW News Daily posted a few pictures of this structure:
Any clue what it’s gonna be?

My gut says we might be getting Rexy back, and that's her frame.

I believe so.

And she may be paired up with the Explorer this time.

Was there a Rex there before? Any pics I could see cuz I don't remember that (or maybe I do and just need my memory jogged)

The one that used to be by the original Raptor Encounter (and at the Boneyard at Universal Studios Florida in the 1990s).

Ooooh her! Thank you, I was right. My memory just needed some jogging lol

 

[SailwiththeTide]

VelociCoaster gives off a West Coast Racers vibe. Obviously this is better themed but the pacing looks similar. Looking forward to get out and try it out in the fall hopefully.

It continues to evolve:

Continuing to look more and more gorgeous with each day I wonder if this will be the final product or if there's still more to do to it, but it does look pretty close to being finished.

Now every time I see them, I'm gonna get Cruel by Tori Amos stuck in my head, so thanks a lot for telling me what they are. [/s]
